Correct answer
B
Nylon-6
C
Insulin
D
DNA

Solution

Polymers which control various life processes in plants and animals are called biopolymers. Cellulose, Insulin, DNA, starch, protein etc are examples of biopolymer. Nylon-6 is a synthetic polymer. It is not a biopolymer.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
